i have stock speakers stock head unit stock everything, with the 6disc

i have 2 JL w6's in my garage that are waiting to be thrown into the scion

i need a: box, amp kit, and a amp

i have $280

could i make it happen?
and how is the harness on the stock head unit?

help please

 

It's a standard toyota harness

 

I would save a little money and just put a tube in it with a built in amp. The whole install should take you an hour. I ran my power wire from the batt. The speaker wires from the head unit and hooked up the ground. Theres no need for a remote wire cause the amp senses a signal from the speaker outputs and turns on. The tube cost me 125 and the wire kit was around 19. It bangs pretty damn good, and I like the fact that if im going to haul stuff around all i have to do is unplug the tube and remove it. Thats just my opinion.

 

ya but if you think the tube will keep up with his jl's, ur outta ur mind.

whats the wattage on the jl's? RMS, not peak.

 

I would honestly save a couple more bucks and wail untill you can get better equipment. Those subs like power and any kind of amp you get for around that price range will be good but not great. I would wait untill you could afford a JL Audio 500/1 amp with a good 4 guage power kit. The amp is about 500 bucks and a power kit would set you back about another 100. Then after that look at a good set of componets and a JL Audio 300/4 amp to power those, you will have a rockin system after that.

Not sure what size airspace those subs require but here's one. $27


Not sure what shipping runs but this gives you an idea of some things online. That Hifonics amp is a steal at that price. You will also need a line level convertor as well if you are using the stock radio. Later down the road you may want to consider a capacitor as well an alarm.

 

thanks guys, i think im going to save up and get the JL 500/1 amp

my friend from CT is comming down and we are going to build a custom fiberglass box, so i guess the system is on hold for 2 months

im going to buy 2 JL w7v2's 10" and sell my w6's

and probably get a clifford alarm

 

Nice choice, I have been into the car audio scene for a long time now and have come to find out that waiting to be able to buy the best stuff always gives the best results. I have been working on my system for 6 years now (and its still not done yet ) If you are ever in the Ft Worth area send me a PM to check each others rides out.

 

Sound like it'll be a nice install. W7's are clean and will pound until you can't hear them anymore!

6 years? Whats the hang up?

 

Money as always

 

rice rocket..
Have you competed in those 6 years at all?

 

w7's are soo expensive

 

No not yet I'm still working on the custom end of it. I have all the equipment that I want now I just gotta make it look nice. Then I plan to.
